I seriously doubt Karl is wasting his time with politics these days when he can make so much more money with less headache in the private sector...

Evidently, you never watch FNS, he's on there constantly...promoting hillary, spouting platitudes about how she can win!

Considering how flawed the spouses of Hillary and McCain are, I doubt this tape, if real, will make much difference to Obama supporters. All they have to do is bring out Cindy and Bill's scandals.

While discussions of "what Michelle said" is legitimate and should be continued, overemphasis diverts from or hides more serious issues regarding Obama. For example, what about his stand on amnesty, immigration, and voting against the Cronyn amendment? I have many other concerns regarding him that outweigh "what Michelle said." Yet I do not see these issues raised to any extent.

As one Democrat asked, "Is this all they have on Obama?"

Michelle is the most honest, the best person I know. She is one of the most caring people I know. She loves this country. And for them to try to distort or to play snippets of her remarks in ways that are unflattering to her I think is … just low class.”.....

So the truth is low class to you, Barry?

What will the AA community’s response be when their candidate is defeated, in a landslide, because his wife is shown spouting what most of that community believes?

"It's a conspiracy!"
"The Man is keeping us down!"

Jeff, have you seen this? (it prob needs own thread)

Ex-Army chaplain cleared in Gitmo spy case is Obama delegate
May 20th, 2008 @ 8:08am

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) - A former Army chaplain at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, who was cleared of spy accusations will be a delegate to the Democratic National Convention.

Former Capt. James J. Yee, a Muslim, was among the delegates pledged to Sen. Barack Obama who were elected by precinct representatives Saturday. He’s representing the state’s 9th Congressional District at the party’s convention in Denver in August.

“If Rove’s got it, Hill’s got it.”

Not necessarily. I can see the situation dissolving into a “Pelican Brief” scenario in her quest to obtain it.

I don't watch TV... so I didn't know and thanks for telling me about it... I wondered what ol' Karl was up to these days...

So, if Karl is promoting Hillary... does that mean he truly is a sly GOP operative? :)

It is irrelevant when any such tape comes out. The facts on the ground are this:

1. Obama can not win this fall.

2. No other Dim can win now that Obama will finish with an elected delegate lead.

So the choice the Dims have are:

A. Lose with Obama and get to tell blacks America is racists but we Dims are not.

B. Lose with someone else and harm the party’s standing with black voters possibly losing the 2012 and future elections.

Seems like an easy choice for the Dims to me.

“So this “billionaire” wants Hillary to win? Idiot.”

Is Ross Perot still around?

>>>He doesn’t want John McCain to win, like a number of conservatives, and thinks Obama is a pathetically weak candidate. The billionaire wants that video released now<<<

This doesn't hang together very well. If this billionaire doesn't want McCain, and doesn't want Obama, who does he want?

Releasing the video now would insure, at a minimum, a McCain/Hillary race. How's that help him with his Mccain problem? I don't follow the strategery!!

Cut ‘Giggles’ some slack. She was probably only excoriating James “Whitey” Bulger.

I’d figure that if Shrillary had this tape it would have long since been released. I mean, she released the photo of Obama in Muslim garb and his grade school essay, FGS. And you correctly point out that the source of this rumor is a Clinton shill and totally unreliable. If the Republicans are hoping for a magic silver bullet like this to save their bacon in November I’m afraid they’ll be sorely disappointed.

This is surprising. She seems so pleasant and grounded. Maybe there was something to the “Obama: Change, Hope, Dead Honkies” bumperstickers.

Yes, a good fantasist knows just when to stop piling on the details before losing credibility.

Don’t release it until after Denver and Obama is the nominee. THEN - Unleash Hell.

I think that this story stinks. Sounds more like how Liberals think that Republicans think.

After all, all Republicans just KNOW that blacks are racist. And that a "Rich Republican Billionaire Businessman" is going to pay a mill for the tape. And that Rove is somehow involved.

I'll gladly be wrong on this one, but I think that it's too stereotypical. Doesn't pass the sniff test.
